As you very knowledgeable Red Sox fans know at a time when baseball has never had more parity, one of the easiest ways to measure teams is by the quality and depth of the pitching staffs.

As long as my Yankees have CC Sabathia, Hiroki Kuroda and Pettitte at the top of their rotation and Mariano Rivera at the back of their bullpen, they'll stay in contention.

My Yankees' rotation has the fifth-best ERA in the American League.

And the offense has been productive. My Yankees lead the AL in home runs and are fifth in runs.

My Yankees have won 13 of 18 since a 1-4 start and have the AL's fourth-best record.

Baseball seasons expose every weakness, and so the real tests are ahead. My Yankees will be playing October baseball at Yankee Stadium.

Interesting perspective. You brought stats into the discussion. The Yankees are currently 5th in Team ERA in the AL and 18th overall. However, the Red Sox are 3rd in Team ERA in the AL and 9th overall.

The Yankees have won 13 of their last 18 and have the AL 4th best record. The Red Sox have also won 13 of their last 18 and hold the Best Record in all baeball.

While the Yankees may have more HRs the Red Sox have scored more runs...which means they are not as dependant on the long ball to score.

Your argument is falling apart...hard to argue with the team that is in first place...try trolling some place else!

Trying to have an intelligent discussion is not trolling. Making light of my Yankees' accomplishments demonstrates a lack of knowledge on your part. Your team is playing against the Triple A Houston Astros.
